Messianism Among Jews and Christians
William Horbury examines some relatively neglected topics bearing on messianism, including the treatment of suffering in synagogue poetry and the theology of grace in Greek Jewish poetry on the exodus. Central themes include: messianism in the Apocrypha and pseudepigrapha; the historical Jesus and the concepts of the Son of man and the Twelve; Jerusalem in Pauline hope; second-century Christology and messianism; Antichrist; and the cult of Christ and the cult of the saints in their Jewish and Christian context. The theology of ancient Judaism is discussed with special reference to debate on monotheism and Christology.
